Any truth to this about Obama's text messages?
I heard Obama has been trying to send the text message who his pick is for Vice-President, but there are problems with the mass texting and carriers are stopping it as spam.

5. I think they're pretty tech-savvy over there. Plus, people had to
sign up for the msg, so I don't know how that would work. I didn't sign up. I figured it might be mentioned here once the msgs go out. ;)

8. They also sent a follow up text to everyone, so it should work.

2. First I heard of it. Hope that is not the case.
That could be embarrassing.

9. That sounds more like a problem that the McCain campaign would come up against.
The Republicans' hate of science and thus, technology has now come back to bite them on their collective asses.

12. And if even just a handful got through, the news would spread like
wildfire on the Internet.

13. The campaign has been communicating with supporters via txt message
since the primaries, I'm not sure why it would suddenly stop working. Sounds like an urban legend to me. Maybe that means he will pick Richard Gere.
